Lush....Honey I washed the kids soap


Hey! If there was a smell in the world that was uber delicious it would be the smell of honey I washed the kids soap by lush....honestly!! It smells sweet like honey and toffee and feels like cream on the skin. It says on the label that it is a hand & body soap, I have used it as a hand soap and in my shower. I had to cut mine into chunks to save wasting product, I loved it that much. I tried this soap a while back but never got round to reviewing it, then repurchased and so here the review is girlys!! I usually buy 100g of this soap but this time they gave me some extra and it cost me £3.66. Normally I think its £2 something. I have noticed the skin on my arms to be noticably softer, I tried this soap after I had gone for a waxing session and it calmed my skin down greatly! You all probably know how much of an ouch waxing is! It is a light brownish colour and has a honey comb like layer on top....so cute! I would show you a picture of mine open but its kinda weird looking as it has been in my shower for some time haha. For more information on ingredients and pictures go to the LUSH website. xxx

Scarlet and Crimson covered & concealed brush set


I bought these brushes a while back from superdrug and have never looked back since! These are fabulous for their price of £5 or £6! Size of the brushes is perfect for travel and home use and handles are very sturdy. I have to mention that these brushes have cute intricate details that caught my attention in the first place. Each brush has its name written on it too so life is easy haha! The brushes are synthetic and soft but with a bit of resiliance.....a bit of bounce I guess lol This is unique and great for application of things like moisturiser and foundations/concealers. In this kit you get 3 brushes: foundation brush, concealer brush and precision concealer brush which is the smallest one. I found the foundation brush works best for me for applying moisturisers and tinted moisturisers. I have tried applying MAC studio tech foundation with it...its not too great with that but this is still one of my essential everyday make up brushes. The concealer brushes for me have been far too small.....when I think of concealer brushes I think much denser and fluffier so it looks airbrushed and not streaky. I found that these two brushes from the kit are awesome as lip brushes instead! Because they give a defined look to lip sticks etc. Since they are synthetic they form a nice sharp shape too when loaded with lip products. Overall a 9/10 for this cute and affordable brush set!

My new skincare products :)


So yeah I finally went out and bought the neutrogena 2 in 1 wash and mask....I just had to give into the hype lol I have been using it for a few days so still not ready to review it yet but I can say so far its nice! It smells good and is really smooth. My skin feels clean and tingly after use, especially if I leave it on as a mask for 5 minutes. Will let you guys know how that one goes. The other thing is the clean and clear shine control daily moisturiser, ok so I don't have oily skin but I just heard that this was an awesome moisturiser regardless. The smell is exactly like the face wash which I had used previously, a fresh smell. It is very hydrating but kind of leaves a slight dewy finish...hmm I thought this was meant for oil control lol Ah well will continue to use a little while longer till I am sure of it. TTYL xx
